Calories: 223kcal
Ingredients
For the house salad:
- 6 cup romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 and ½ cups croutons
- 1 and ½ cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
- ½ cucumber thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion sliced
For the vinaigrette:
- 6 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Set aside.
- To make the vinaigrette, add all the vinaigrette ingredients to a jar, top with the lid, and shake until the ingredients are completely mixed together. You can also add them to a small bowl and mix with a fork or a whisk until well combined.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and mix until well combined.
- Serve your house salad immediately.
- Best when fresh, keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days (dressing separate from the salad).
Notes
- Feel free to use any type of oil, vinegar, or salt you want.
- Incorporate any vegetables you have on hand, this salad always works!
- You could even add nuts like almonds or walnuts.
- Use gluten-free croutons if needed. Feel free to make our easy chickpea croutons recipe.
- I used store-bought vegan shredded cheese, but if you can’t find it or prefer a homemade version, our vegan Parmesan cheese is exactly what you're looking for!
- To add some vegetable protein to your house salad, I suggest you serve it with some fried tofu or baked tofu.
